There are many juvenile correctional facilities all over the world, in different countries. When teenagers who are under eighteen commit a crime, instead of sending them to prison, they are usually sent to these kind of juvenile correctional facilities. This gives them a chance to change themselves and regret about what they did, in a less strict environment like prison.

I am going to design a juvenile facility on my own; I want to give those teenagers another chance to change themselves, to prove that they now know what is right and what is wrong, so that they can be accepted by the society again. Since all the teenagers are under eighteen, I believe that they still have a lot of potential to do good for the society, they deserve a second chance, not going to jail and getting looked down at for the rest of their life.

In my juvenile facility, I am going to focus on exercising and learning in order to help those teenagers improve themselves. The reason of doing this is that I think teenagers should have more chance to play or study with their peers, it can make them more productive and have more motivation. First, teenagers are free to use all the sports facilities including basketball court, tennis court, running ground and gym. The purpose of setting up so many facilities is to let teenagers enjoy sports with their peer, which a great way to train their teamwork and their willpower. These are the essential factors to be used when they come back to the society, without these skills they will easily be eliminated in the cruel society.

Also, I want to let the teenagers learn some skill in order to make a living out of it after they get back to the society. For example, I want to teach them some basic rules in the office, like being polite to their work mates and be on time every day, these rules may seems...

Courts often seek for alternatives when sentencing defendants convicted of hate crimes. Many times individuals who commit a crime for the first time act out of ignorance or low self-esteem when they commit hate crimes. Many juveniles commit crimes such as burning crosses and scrawling offensive graffiti on public buildings which are considered to be hate crimes against religion and society. Many of these individuals are required to take diversion courses which teach them about their behavior, these courses cover racism, anti-Semitism and civil rights laws, offenders by the end of the course should have an understanding of why their behaviors are considered discriminatory and inappropriate.
According to the non-profit Sentencing Project racial inequalities exist during sentencing proceedings. There was a research conducted by this group regarding cultural inequalities in criminal sentencing. An interesting fact of this research was the finding of how a criminal case decision is influenced through racial aspects. For instance, juries in some states tend to recommend the death penalty for homicide defendants accused of killing a white person. In...

Ethics in Corrections
Police and other law enforcement officers deal with the concept of what is right and wrong more often than many other fields. Particularly, correctional officers in prisons and jails often face ethical dilemmas every day (McConnell, 2006). There are many daily scenarios where a correctional officer makes choices that involve their emotions and morals. The practice of making ethical choices is especially important in policing because using your emotions or moral values does not always create a satisfactory solution (Anonymous, 2002).
While officers in correctional facilities are in positions of power over prisoners who have made unethical decisions, it is important that they do not abuse this power (Martin, 2001). There are many ethical issues that are very specific to prisons (Center for Substance Abuse Treatment, 2005). One of the biggest ethical issues within correctional facilities is the subject of sexual misconduct (McConnell, 2006). While in recent years laws have been passed to try and rein in this problem, there are still many complaints made about sexual abuse in prisons and jails; around 60% of those complaints are against facility staff members rather than prisoners (Hunter, 2010). Another issue within correctional facilities...

CriminalJustice Trends
In today’s society the use of technology, terrorism, and organized crime has been undoubtedly a future trend therefore, the criminaljustice system remains to be an essential safeguard for society globally. Evolving changes in technology, terrorism, and organized crime has been complex in the early years of the twenty-first century, which requires the criminaljustice system to take drastic steps to prevent such crimes.
Society and politicians are demanding legal responsibility, protection, and public safety therefore several law enforcement agencies are implementing computer services for law enforcement management systems. Further training has been implemented for law enforcement units to correctly respond to such criminal occurrences. Because law enforcement officials are being held accountable for the safety of society law enforcement officials must engage in tactical preparation, must have a neighborhood rapport, and more technologically advanced in terms of computer management and rapid deployment systems. Countless of individuals are being incarcerated therefore crime rates are diminishing in comparison to earlier decades. However, the disputes are consistent with the...

Law Enforcement in a Just Society

Introduction to CriminalJustice

The United States of America was founded on the basis of freedom. Freedom, though implied through our very citizenship, is not something we have the ability to take for granted. True freedom can only be achieved through an effective judicial system that establishes and mandates laws that protect society from itself. In order to protect society from itself however, the criminaljustice system has to have a solid understanding of social justice and its importance to the people of the United States. The establishment of a more just society cannot be achieved if the principles used to establish this nation are lost. Law enforcement agencies and professionals can use the social justice principles of equality, solidarity, and human rights to help mold society and ensure all Americans that the values used to establish this great nation still hold true today.
In order to better understand the role of law enforcement in procuring a more just society one must observe the constitutional standards that allow these agencies to remain dedicated to the people. The Constitution of the United States is not just a guideline that limits the power of law enforcement; it is also the ethical and moral standards that each and every law enforcement professional lives by....

I will be showing in this paper how technology is used today to help fight against crime. I will be showing the latest technologies and the different topologies used in these technologies today. Some of the advancements made over the last twenty years has helped to put criminals from the past away and continues to make strides in gathering the evidence that was at one point obsolete. Today these advancements can take things such as DeoxyriboNucleic Acid (DNA), which is the genetic material of a cell. These samples can be tested today and show results of the possible perpetrator and match them by their samples. Years ago there was no testing for this DNA to match the perpetrator from the past. I will specifically staying on DNA but will touch on some other technologies used in catching criminals also. Another technology I will be touching on will be Advanced Fingerprint Identification Technology (AFIT).
I will be doing my investigating by looking into some background information from the Federal Bureau of Investigation and how each of these technologies came into play and how they are used for past crime, present crimes and future crimes.
In this day and age it is a constant battle to keep up with the ever changing technologies....

My interviewee was Commander Hamry, of the Milton police department in Washington. When interviewing Commander Hamry, I found the following to be his impressions of the police force in general:
Why are ethics and character so important in the field of law enforcement?
Because we represent everything we believe in, not only in local and state law, but the Constitution of the United States. We are part law enforcement, lawyer, priest, counselor, mother/father figure etc...at any given moment. We have a nano-second to decide whether or not to shoot whereas everyone else has months/years to decide if that action was proper or not. Due to an elevated level of training and discipline, we are held to a higher standard. This includes: morals, ethics, actions/decisions which the public has entrusted it's care to us which go back to the issues when the tea was first thrown into the harbor.
Do the interviewees feel that police are more ethical today, or were they more ethical ten years ago?
Due to immediate access of public information and technology, the magnification of the microscope has been increased. However, that is something that evolves with public perception, the legal system, etc... where something that was common place and ethical 100 years ago would not be considered today. People...

...is physically exhausting and dangerous in return for low pay, family/relationship issues low pay, and all the physical and mental tolls that come along as well.
Nothing on earth is perfect. Yes, some things are made better than others but every thing comes with its own flaws. The CriminalJustice System (CJS), we live by is a great example of a not so perfect thing. The officer I interviewed described the system as one with many loopholes. The loopholes are bringing back many repeat offenders because the system has become continually easier to work with and get around. In scenarios I have seen, many criminals will outsmart the system before they have even committed the crime. More specifically, they know exactly what to do to get him or her out of the situation before they are even in it. Once they commit the crime they get their sentences reduced and they are out in a much shorter time than what they were charged with. Although this may not change, because regardless of the criminals that out-smart it, there are many law-abiding citizens that keep the system in its place. The only way for people to truly do the time they deserve for their crime something needs to be done in the CriminalJustice System to reduce the amount of repeat offenders and better the community.
Every job comes with likes and dislikes. The officer did in fact say that he likes everything about his job. This...
